4.8.3 Private VLAN
Private VLANs provide port-based security and isolation between ports within the assigned VLAN. This Managed Switch
supports two types of private VLANs:
primary / secondary associated groups
stand-alone isolated VLANs.
A primary VLAN contains promiscuous ports that can communicate with all other ports in the private VLAN group, while a
secondary (or community) VLAN contains community ports that can only communicate with other hosts within the secondary
VLAN and with any of the promiscuous ports in the associated primary VLAN. Isolated VLANs, on the other hand, consist a
single stand-alone VLAN that contains one promiscuous port and one or more isolated (or host) ports. In all cases, the
promiscuous ports are designed to provide open access to an external network such as the Internet, while the community or
isolated ports provide restricted access to local users.
Multiple primary VLANs can be configured on this Managed Switch, and multiple community VLANs can be associated with
each primary VLAN. One or more isolated VLANs can also be configured.
Private VLANs and normal VLANs can exist simultaneously within the same switch.
Primary / secondary Associated Group
To configure primary/secondary associated groups, follow these steps:
1. Use the Private VLAN Configuration menu to designate one or more community VLANs, and the primary VLAN that will
channel traffic outside of the VLAN groups.
2. Use the Private VLAN Association menu to map the secondary (i.e., community) VLAN(s) to the primary VLAN.
3. Use the Private VLAN Port Configuration menu to set the port type to promiscuous (i.e., having access to all ports in the
primary VLAN), or host (i.e., having access restricted to community VLAN members, and channeling all other traffic through
promiscuous ports). Then assign any promiscuous ports to a primary VLAN and any host ports a community VLAN.
Isolated VLAN
To configure an isolated VLAN, follow these steps:
1. Use the Private VLAN Configuration menu to designate an isolated VLAN that will channel all traffic through a single
promiscuous port.
2. Use the Private VLAN Port Configuration menu to set the port type to promiscuous (i.e., the single channel to the
external network), or isolated (i.e., having access only to the promiscuous port in its own VLAN). Then assign the
promiscuous port and all host ports to an isolated VLAN.
